the forming of substance 05

"But I will not drive them (the 'inhabitants') out in a single year,
because the land would become desolate
and the wild animals too numerous for you.
Little by little I will drive them out before you;
Until you have increased enough to take
possession of the land."
~Exodus
.
Within the sphere- formless and void,
there was all but nothing to inhabit.
Existing within the eternity of the moment,
unable to retain--
it could only experience.
It could behold perfection,
but not hold on to it;
No need..
perfection was ever-present--
In full view of the sphere
and the precious spirit- encased within,
now, wrapped within a living, breathing skin-
this body- for the spirit,
and the spirit for the one body
each part of the heart-- a city in itself.
. .
Reaching across the chasm,
there is an almost symmetry in
the layout of the cities
but their inhabitants are unruly
and the spaces between far too great
for any kind of order to become able to
break through the chaos--
there is no longer communication
between the cities.
There is a yearning for consolidated-Sovereignty,
but the cities have long forgotten themselves-
Strewn about.. in the pain of it all,
they no longer know each other.
. . .
But the spirit within the body-- it remembers.
There is a gathering back into wholeness-
waiting..
and so we learn how to wait also.
Parts, and pieces-- members rebuilt-
little by little
Not too fast- take it easy;
70 years, maybe more.
Which way will it go-
There is a promised land;
waiting to be taken--
one city at a time.
